Cristina Gomez bt Cindy Merlo 3-1Cristina: Today I felt better than yesterday but my game
hasn't been the best. I wasn't concentrated 100% and Cindy
knows my weaknesses because I started to play against her
when we were younger, like 11 years old hahaha.

For the next one I'll try to do my game more aggressive and
not making mistakes. It's always a pleasure playing against
Cindy, amazing Player and good friend. Nice match ;-).

Ambre Allinckx bt Tereza Svobodova 3-0
Ambre: Really happy that I won my second qualifying match. I
played really good and tried to focus all the time on the
game. Happy with my peformance, was better than yesterday.
Looking Forward for my next match.

made it to through the quali. Very excited for tomorrow.

was a good match.

I played well and I have a good feeling. I'm sorry to my
friend Benji, who lost today.

Yannik Omlor bt Benjamin Aubert 3-1

he lost a lot of energy because he was ill. I hope that I
manage to win against a seeded Player tomorrow in the
maindraw.

Roee Avraham bt Sean Conroy 3-2
Roee: This was a very intense match. I was 2-0 down in games
and managed to come back to win 3-2. A bit of a weird game
for both of us, but I'm happy I was the one fighting a bit
harder to win today and qualify in my first 10k.

It is great to be here in this weather and great views. I
hope to come stronger for my first round.

Dimitri Steinmann bt Mark Broekman 3-0

skillful Player and it was hard to read him in the first two
games. In the third I started to straighten it up and was
able to close it out 3-0 in the end.
